THE. HarleianMS. 194 is a pocket diary, extending fromJuly1553 to October 1554. It is written, or rather scribbled, in so bad
a handthat even Stowe,who printed some passages fromit, has
mistakenseveralwords ; andto this circmnstance perhaps may bepar tly attributedthe neglect it has hither to received.‘
It is the authority for the interesting account givenby Stowe,and
Holinshed, of the executionofLordGuilfordDudley andLady Jane
Grey, as well as for the greater par tof their nar rative of the pro
gress of eventswhilst the council administeredthe government of

Mr . Tytler has remarked, “ The account givenby Holinshedof
nobles before leaving the Tower , is interesting, andhas some fine
touches which seemto stamp its authenticity.” Holinshedsays in

A recent visit to the State Paper Oflice has been rewardedby the
discovery of the tr ue history (giveninthe Addenda)of the last out
hrealr of the duke of Sufl'olk, which was the final cause of the
sacrifice of his daughter’s life.
The tract of JohnElder , forming the Xth Appendix, is one near lyas rare as amanuscript. Its details of the ear ly proceedings of the
reig iof queenMary are the more valut e because the protestant
chronicler s of the next reign abridgedthemverymaterially, inaccordance with the alteredspirit ot e

times ; andthe ecclesiasticalhistorianFor e describes the same transactions in
o
difi'erent terms, as
viewedina totally difi'erent light.
